Opinions are wrong....if you don't agree?
Lol....the perfect definition of a simpleton, from one ;)
You like them, carry on listening to them then, I think they're crap....and won't!

Didn't say that dumbass, not liking them is fine, calling them a boy band is stupid.

Comprendi fuck nut;-)

You’re splitting hairs, J.

I know Keep Yourself Alive was the first single, but it didn’t chart, therefore I didn’t hear it, until I bought Queen I.

I meant their first Top 30 single.

Oh Vienna!

I remember Stannage playing nothing but the Beatles one night around xmas.1990 on Piccadilly and it really brought it home to me the quality and range of their music

But some find them a bland sellout compared to their hard rocking Hamburg days

I preferred the R&B songs of their early days to where they went later.
Eg their version of Mr. Postman is far superior to I wanna hold your Hand.

But they were a band of boys? :-)

I guess McFly aren’t a boy band either then…

this makes some good points regarding the boy band angle

Why The Beatles were initially a boy band

The Beatles may have shaped rock and roll as we know it, but their first projects veered closer to boy band territory in the best way possible.

What's happening with the backing vocals there where McCartney gets caught out at 1:36.

Certainly early on they were a very good pop band loved by young girls. Their songs still had something different to the generic hence the popularity outside of just young girls.

The rest of their career was much more which makes the wummers and idiots absolutely wrong to claim they were just a boy band or that all their songs sounded the same.

This isn't opinion or musical taste just a fact.

I said in another thread that I found Springsteen to be a bit dull, a bit dad rock. I didn't say he was shit though. He is very good as what he does
